First pitch definitely felt sustained and crimpy in cold wind! I would say reachy too. I had to zigzag a bit to find holds. Second pitch less consistent in difficulty but some fun moves as well

Rested twice at crux overhang and once at last move. Farewell the meaningful "top rope with rest"(s) tick, a "failed attempt" cannot possibly be "climbed to the top", so no more "dogs".
Anyway, I guess lots of folk were doing 23s on 1-1-23. |

Route is unsatisfatorily vegetated for the modern ascentionist. Ground up the lower gritty slab then jugged the rest. Corner crack is fused, next crack clean apart from lots of ferns, and left crack choked with dirt & ferns. Whole thing could be freed after cleaning but better to leave it and attack Running Gun Blues.

Another one from the history books: an uncompromising line that reminded me of a commentary on the Spassky v Fischer rematch "they played chess like they played in the 70s". And so this climb: an unprotected 17 start (which never used to count), then straight up, with 10 bits of pro in the first half, then about 2 for the rest. Yep, pretty much an 80ft leadout up a juggy wall with a few overhangs before the angle eases off.
And yet a neat X in blue biro on the old guide I borrowed from a prolific ascentionist of the period showed he lead it - and probably with little worry - whereas I quaked over the crux overhang despite 2 solo devices and a knot backup on the B strand. Which prompted me to muse on the neurones in the young adult brain, and more pressingly, whether the beer in the Old Bank Bar Beer Garden was going to be cold, or bitterly cold. Little wonder that the punters seen crowding Reservoir Dogs on the other side of the valley clearly prefer a more straightforward opening of stick clip and haul up, followed by 9 bolts in 20m. No neuronal abegnation - or exercise - required. |

Original description stated "Poor protection on crux" but really not so bad in the Post Camian era. Four metres of easy ledges to the first break then 5 more past the former piton belay now rendered obsolete by a 50 yo Eucalyptus ensconsed in the corner. Avoided the horrors of the "easier overhangs" and no doubt easier massive leadouts by trending toward the corner, which, by the time I reached it, time really was out.

There's only time for one track on the short drive from K Town to the trailhead at M Town, in this case 3'47" of Marvin Gaye's What's Goin On. The intent was to check out Flibbertigibet, but the top of "Who's Lead?" proved both adequate rhetorical question, and easier to identify among the sawn off stumps adjacent to the powerline corridor.
Inspection on descent revealed this climb has returned to the state nature intended,with at least 10 species of healthy plants resident. Intention was therefore redirected to the arete. 2 Climbed right wall avoiding veg. 3 A-shaped chimney which brought on a little dry heaving or breathing. |
